Court Awards Deaf, Dumb N4m Damages For Assault by manuel80(m): 10:12am On Jan 07, 2017 |
By Gabriel Enogholase
A Benin High Court presided over by Justice
Alero Edodo-Eruaga has awarded the sum of
N4million as general damages to a hearing
impaired man, Mr. Kingsley Eromosele.
Mr. Eromosele had dragged the First Bank of
Nigeria and two of its staff, Messers Jerry
Osoleaso and Adetola Busari to court for
damaging his car and assaulting him.
He had asked the court to grant him N70,000
being cost for the repair of his car, N1m for
his damaged vehicle, the sum of N10m for the
assault, dehumanizing treatment, shock he
suffered and the sum of N1m as Solicitors
fees in respect of the proceedings.
In her judgment, Justice A. Edodo-Eruaga held
that evidence before the court proved that the
defendants failed to exercise the duty of care
due to the claimant as a user of the Benin-
Lagos express Road.
Justice Edodo-Eruaga awarded the sum of
N4m to the claimant for ill-treatment,
harassment and hardship meted to him by
agents of the first defendants.
The Judge refused to grant the claim of N1m
as general damage for the claimant’s car and
awarded N700,000 as counsel fees for the
prosecution of the case.
Justice Edodo-Eruaga struck out the claim for
N70,000 being cost for the repair of the
vehicle and dismissed the counter claim of the
defendants as being frivolous and lacking in
merit.
Reacting to the judgment, Eromosele who
spoke through an interpreter said he opted for
legal redress to tell the world that physically
challenged persons have right to live in the
society. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/court-awards-deaf-dumb-n4m-damages-assault/ Myndd44 OAM4J |
